The cold wind of winter shakes the candle
In the sixteenth year of Jingjia, there was a lot of snow.
The land of Jingwei is covered in silver, and all sounds are silent.
The Nangong royal family, who was covered in a haze, ushered in a happy event after a long absence.
The second child of Princess Qionghua Nangong Sunv and Shangguan Wu was born. As Qi Yuxiao had blessed, this child is a daughter.
As the eldest daughter of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, the status of this little county owner is doomed to be extraordinary.
Nangong Su's daughter refused to let her male eyebrows, and gave high hopes to her eldest daughter. After thinking hard for three days, she named this little county master "You He", Shangguan You He.
It is taken from "Mountain has Fusu, Xi has Hehua", because the word "Hua" bumped into the titles of his mother and second aunt, so he chose the word "You He".
In order to show respect for the eldest sister, Nangongda also gave a favor to the Zhenbei General's Mansion. In the name of the prince of the country, he drafted the edict on his behalf, canonized Shangguan Youhe as the owner of Danyang County, and bestowed five hundred households with food.
Generally speaking, the county owner is no longer a direct line of the royal family. There are rewards, but they rarely give food. The intention of Nangongda is clear at a glance.
Nangong Jingnv also likes her niece very much. In addition, Nangong Sunv gave her own jade pendant to Yuxiao before. Nangong Jingnv personally selected twelve excellent Dongzhu from the treasury and made them for Shangguan Youhe. A collar.
On the day when Shangguan had a full moon, Qi Yan and Nangong Jingnu brought Qi Yuxiao to congratulate him, and Qi Yuxiao held the collar in his arms.
When the guests came together, Nangong Su ordered someone to carry the Danyang County Master out. The little guy was born with pink and jade carvings, and looked curiously with his watery black eyes.
Shangguanfu was a little unhappy. He always heard people say, "Brothers in battle."
Qi Yuxiao's performance was the exact opposite of Shangguan Fu. As soon as she saw Shangguan Youhe, she was overjoyed. "Dengdengdeng" ran in front of the nurse, and looked at Shangguan Youhe, who was swaddled, on tiptoe.
Nangong Jingnu: "Yuxiao, give the collar to your cousin."
Qi Yuxiao nodded, took out the collar and held it in the palm of his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he put it on his neck.
Nangong Jingnu frowned slightly: "Jade flute?"
Qi Yuxiao turned her head to look at her parents, and said seriously: "The collar is blowing cold wind, and I will put it on my cousin when I warm it up."
Qi Yan showed a gratified smile, and Nangong Sunu even waved at Qi Yuxiao, who ran to Nangong Sunu again and called out sweetly, "Auntie!"
Nangong Su Nu pulled Yu Xiao into her arms and held her little hand to warm her up, and said lovingly, "What a careful and good boy."
Shangguan Fu on the side heard it, and rolled his eyes at Qi Yuxiao, looking unconvinced.
Qi Yuxiao went to Nangong Shunv's place again to be coquettish, returned to Shangguan Youhe, and put a collar with her body temperature on the other's neck, and then did not leave until Shangguan Youhe yawned. After being carried away by the nurse, she returned to Qi Yan.
Shangguan Fu rubbed his hands and walked towards Qi Yuxiao.
Qi Yuxiao swept it out of the corner of his eye and opened his arms: "Father, hug!"
Shangguanfu's steps stopped, but he still had the courage to come over: "third uncle, cousin..."
Qi Yuxiao leaned on Qi Yan's shoulder: "Father, my daughter is tired."
Shangguan Fu was a little embarrassed, how could Qi Yan not understand her daughter's mind
Laughing secretly, the little girl really held vengeance, patted Qi Yuxiao on the back, and said in a negotiating tone: "The visitor is a guest, and the guest is as the host."
Qi Yuxiao sighed, then jumped out of Qi Yan's arms: "What are you playing?"
Shangguan Fu excitedly replied, "Build a snowman?"
Qi Yuxiao: "Let's go..." After speaking, she turned her head to look at Qi Yan, and that helpless gaze taught Qi Yan to be unable to help but laugh.
Nangong Jingnv witnessed the interaction between the "father and daughter", and looked at the figures of the two little guys leaving, her eyes a little sad.
It's not that she is selfish, but she also wants to have children of her own and Qi Yan.
…
The two sons of the Lu Mansion completed the imperial order and returned to the capital. Lu Zhongxing ordered someone to clean the Taiwei Mansion and moved in impatiently.
Even before this year, Lu Zhongxing didn't dare to dream that he could live in the main house. According to common sense, even if Lu Quan was gone, Lu Boyan should live in the main house.
And what about Lu Boyan? Before leaving the capital, he sent his servants to move his belongings to Pushe House.
The day after Lu Zhongxing moved into the Taiwei's mansion, Ding Yi and his wife came to the door with a heavy gift to congratulate Lu Zhongxing on his housewarming.
Lu Zhongxing has long been different from what it used to be. He inherited not only half a piece of military talisman, but also Lu Quan's former advisers.
Lu Zhongxing already knew about Ding Fengshan's affairs, and these aides also suggested that Lu Zhongxing should not go into this muddy water. What Ding Fengshan committed was unforgivable. Once the Taiwei came forward to intercede, all the military attachés would agree, and the court would take it lightly. But the Ding family is not an ordinary courtier, but a relative of the Lu family. This will make the courtiers feel that the Taiwei's mansion covers the sky with only one hand, and can even control the holy will, and although Princess Zhenzhen's consort currently has no position in the court, from the last time Jinzhou students jointly signed the letter, Qi Yan is this The identity of the person in charge of Jinzhou Prefecture cannot be shaken.
Lu Zhongxing was like a dick, no wonder he always felt that his father had foresight, and with such a group of Sai Zhuge's support, how could it not be a big deal
So Lu Zhongxing said, "The royal family has been mourning one after another, and His Majesty is unwell." He said that he had no plans to set up a housewarming banquet. Ding Yi was an elder, so naturally he could not accept this gift without a name.
Ding Yi still brought this up, and Lu Zhongxing went to his eldest brother for all family matters on the grounds that he was the second son.
…
Ding Yi and his wife went to the Pushe Mansion again with a cheeky face. Lu Boyan's advisors also strongly opposed it. The reason is: the advisors felt that Lu Boyan's missing with Bingfu this time was probably because he supported the third prince and the fifth prince supported Lu Zhongxing to give a warning. It means that it is already enough. It is already a certainty that the fifth prince will inherit the throne. The fifth prince is the presiding judge of this case, and it is obviously unwise to intercede.
The snow on the street was not thick enough. Looking at the snow, Ding Yi had a sense of despair that there was no way to go to the sky.
Mrs. Ding cried bitterly in the street and begged Ding Yi to try her luck elsewhere, but was pulled into the carriage by her husband with a dark face.
At this point, Ding Yi already knew that her son could not be saved, and it was not only futile but also humiliating to go.
My two nephews are on the sidelines, and others will use this reason to prevaricate it.
Now I can only hope that before the autumn harvest next year, the new emperor will be enthroned and amnesty the world. Ding Yi can only think about it, and never dare to declare it.
In the fifteenth year of Jingjia, Shangyuan Festival.
Because Nangong kept the banquet in bed while sick, he only invited members of the royal family, and the rest of the foreign ministers were not invited, and singing and dancing were also avoided.
In the empty hall, none of the concubines and concubines of the harem came, and Nangongda sat alone in the throne.
The emperor's heir withered, and counting the three princesses and two concubines, there were less than ten people. Fortunately, there were still a few children and the prince Liangdi, which barely made up the whole number.
The children set up a table in the small hall. Halfway through the banquet hall, there was a commotion, and Nangongda's eldest daughter ran over: "Father, it's not good... Yuxiao and Fu'er are fighting!"
Nangong Sunu helped her forehead helplessly, and Qi Yan got up.
With a "bang", the corner door of the main hall was knocked open, and a cold wind swept in with snow blocks, blowing the palace lanterns swaying.
Nangongda: "Why are you so panic?"
The servant forgot to even salute, so he trotted all the way to kneel under the imperial steps, the servant next to Nangongda walked down, the messenger whispered a few words in the ear of the servant, the servant was shocked and hurried back to Nangongda and said a few words.
Nangongda stood up suddenly and fell back into the chair.
Nangong Sunu: "What happened?"
Nangongda: "Father... I'm sick. Father-in-law Sijiu told our brothers and sisters to come over."
The banquet came to an abrupt end, and the cups were messed up.
Nangong Jingnv's face was pale, she leaned on Qi Yan's body and glanced at Nangong Sunv from a distance.
Nangong Sunu had a thoughtful look on her face.
Qi Yan: "Don't worry, Your Highness, go and have a look first."
The children were dragged away by their respective nurses, and Shangguan Fu was beaten up by Qi Yuxiao again, but no one bothered.
Everyone took their own sedan chairs and went straight to Ganquan Palace. Nangong Jingnu wept silently against the cold wind. She knew the situation of her father and emperor best.
These days, Nangong Jingnu went to greet her every day, but Nangong had less and less time to wake up.
Even though Nangong Jingnu was mentally prepared, she was still sad.
The cold wind was drenched in tears, and it was freezing to the bone.
Qi Yan hugged Nangong Jingnu in her arms distressedly, feeling a little relieved in her heart: It's okay... Although she failed to kill her own enemy, but Nangong has also suffered all these years of lingering, this ending, also it is good.
If she really kills Nangong Rang herself... Qi Yan doesn't know how to face Nangong Jingnu.
In Nangong Jingnv's mind, all that came to her mind were the bits and pieces of herself and her father over the past 20 years.
When she was a child, she liked to run and threw herself into her father's arms, and then the father would pick her up, rub her cheeks with her whiskers, and call out lovingly: my son.
Later, I grew up slowly, and I didn't want to throw myself into the arms of my father. He even felt that the palace was restraining him, so he decided to move out of the palace. After a month of trouble, the emperor finally agreed. On the day he left the palace, he used nearly 100 carriages to pull the reward of his own establishment and carried it to the princess' palace.
At the age of fourteen, he got married and had a small family.
And then... The father is ill, and he is willing to help himself to the throne...
Thinking of this, Nangong Jingnu felt heartbroken and tears welled up.
After entering Ganquan Palace, the three directors and four chiefs of the Royal Hospital were all there. After another half an hour, the royal doctors came out with their medicine boxes on their backs, and came to everyone in front of the crowd: "His Royal Highness called a few His Royal Highnesses to enter."
Si Jiu raised the whisk: "The two concubines, please stay, your Majesty will summon the two of you individually later."
Qi Yan: "Yes."
Lu Zhongxing: "Yes."
Si Jiu entered the dormitory and closed the door.
Nangong Sunu saw that Nangong Rang, whose face was withered and withered, knelt down beside the bed with a "thump": "Father!"
The bedridden years made Nangong completely different, and everyone present except Nangong Jingnu was shocked.
If it wasn't for Nangong Rang sleeping on the dragon bed, covered with the dragon quilt, they wouldn't even recognize the white-haired, pale-faced old man on the bed as today's 95-year-old, the majestic father emperor they remembered.
Si Jiu came to Nangong Rang's bedside and called, "Your Majesty, several of your Royal Highnesses have come down."
Nangong Rang didn't open his eyes, but squeezed out a vibrato from his throat: "Well."
Nangong Rang took a few breaths before he controlled the good hand and tapped his pillow with the back of his hand.
Forty-nine: "Yes."
Si Jiu pulled out a scroll of imperial decrees from under Nangong Rang's jade pillow, Nangong Da's eyes lit up, staring intently.
But Nangong Jingnv didn't even lift her eyelids, knelt beside Nangong Sunv, bit her lip with the corner of Nangong Rang's quilt, and wept silently.
Although Si Jiu's eyes were dim, he saw this scene clearly. With emotion and relief, he shook off the imperial decree: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict said: I know that time is short, and since I ascended the throne for 18 years, I have been able to bring peace to the people, calm Beijing, and rule the world. For eight years, I did not dare to slack off for a moment until I died. After my death, all the princes went to the ancestral mausoleum to invite the coffin of the Empress Ma of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Emperor Mausoleum of Kaichi Mountain.
Nangong Jingnu covered her mouth, but the suppressed cry overflowed from her fingers.
She remembered that when she was eight years old, on the anniversary of her mother's death, the royal father took her to the Fengzao Palace to worship. Never stand back…”
Forty-nine: "Giving the title of Empress Ma as: Gongyi to Xiande, Chunshuyi, Empress of Kaiyuan Shengyi, the country cannot live without a monarch for a day, I have written a will, and when I and the Empress of Yuan rest in the imperial mausoleum, Forty-nine led the civil and military officials to take out the imperial decree, and read out the new monarch candidate in public. Appreciate this."
Everyone: "My son, obey the imperial edict."
Forty-nine: "Can you remember it?"
Only then did everyone discover that in the corner of the dormitory, three officials were kneeling, presumably to avoid disputes over the edict.
Nangong Rang let out a long sigh and slowly raised his hand.
Forty-nine: "Your Highness, kneel down."
Everyone: "Yes."
Nangong Jingnu cried into tears, biting the back of her hand and nesting it into Nangong Shunv's arms. The three sisters were crying, but no one dared to speak out.
Forty-nine: "Master Lu, Your Majesty announces you to come in."
Lu Zhongxing straightened his clothes, glanced at Qi Yan provocatively, and entered the bedroom. Lu Zhongxing went in with his front feet, and the three officials came out with his back feet.
Lu Zhongxing knelt beside the bed: "Father."
Nangong Rang slowly opened his eyes, stared blankly at the bright yellow curtain above his head, was silent for a cup of tea, and said, "Take care of the little girl."
Lu Zhongxing was stunned, kowtow and said yes.
Forty-nine: "Master Lu, Your Majesty has left a secret order for you, and the miscellaneous family will give it to you in due course."
Lu Zhongxing was shocked: "Yes!"
I don't know what methods the imperial physicians used, but Nangong Rang, who had been unable to speak for many years, was able to speak, and even though his words were vague, he could barely understand.
Nangong Rang closed his eyes, Sijiu said, "Lord Lu, kneel down."
Lu Zhongxing: "Yes."
After Lu Zhongxing came out, it took a while before he came out.
Si Jiu glanced at Qi Yan lightly: "Come in with a few imperial doctors, Your Majesty is exhausted, I will summon Zhen Zhen's concubine alone another day."
Qi Yan lowered her head, her eyes slightly closed, "Yes."
